Product OverviewThe Shure Microflex MXN5W-C is a networked PoE ceiling loudspeaker built for clear speech reproduction in AV conferencing. Its low-profile, shallow-can design fits most drop ceiling installations, and Dante networking plus Power over Ethernet reduce the cabling and outboard hardware an integrator has to specify. When deployed and controlled through software, it does not require a separate amplifier or outboard DSP, which simplifies conference room and meeting space designs.On SaleProduct DescriptionThe MXN5W-C is part of the Shure Microflex networked audio ecosystem and is intended to pair with networked microphones and conferencing processors over a single Dante and PoE infrastructure. The two-way driver system with a 5.25-inch (13.3 cm) woofer is tuned for intelligible speech in conference rooms, huddle rooms, and multi-purpose rooms. Because it is PoE-powered and Dante-connected, a technician can distribute audio across a room or building using standard network cabling rather than dedicated speaker wire and amplifier channels. The unit includes two Dante inputs and one Dante output for flexible signal routing within the AV system. It is UL 2043 plenum rated for installation in environmental air-handling spaces above the ceiling, and the removable, paintable grille blends into the ceiling finish. The clean, shallow form factor suits commercial deployments where the ceiling plane must stay uncluttered.Key Features Power over Ethernet — The loudspeaker draws power over the network connection, reducing dedicated power and speaker cabling in the ceiling. Dante Networking — Two Dante inputs and one Dante output provide flexible audio routing within a networked AV system. No Separate Amplifier or DSP — When deployed and controlled via software, the speaker does not require an external amplifier or outboard DSP, simplifying system design. Two-Way Driver System — A 5.25-inch (13.3 cm) woofer with a two-way design is tuned for intelligible speech reproduction. Plenum-Rated — UL 2043 plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces above drop ceilings. Drop-Ceiling Design — The low-profile, shallow-can housing fits most standard drop ceiling installations. Paintable Grille — The removable, paintable grille lets the speaker blend into the ceiling finish. Typical Applications Conference room Boardroom Huddle room Multi-purpose room Training room All-hands room Commercial meeting space Technical Specifications Model MXN5W-C Type Networked ceiling loudspeaker Driver Two-way, 5.25 in (13.3 cm) woofer Power Power over Ethernet (PoE) Networking Dante (2 inputs, 1 output) Plenum Rating UL 2043 Mounting Drop ceiling, low-profile shallow can Grille Removable, paintable Color White Frequently Asked QuestionsDoes the MXN5W-C need a separate amplifier?No. When deployed and controlled through software, it does not require an external amplifier or outboard DSP, since it is a powered networked loudspeaker.How is it powered and connected?It is powered over Ethernet and carries audio over Dante, using standard network cabling instead of dedicated speaker wire.Can it be installed in a plenum ceiling space?Yes. It is UL 2043 plenum rated for installation in environmental air-handling spaces above drop ceilings.What does it pair with in a conferencing system?It is designed for the Microflex networked ecosystem and works alongside conferencing processors such as the IntelliMix P300 and ceiling array microphones such as the MXA920.Can the grille be painted to match the ceiling?Yes. The grille is removable and paintable so the loudspeaker can blend into the ceiling finish.
